With the Batman HeroClix set, we get introduced to Vehicles. Below are the new rules for HeroClix Rules, as found on the HeroClix Website. Info in purple are presented word-for-word from the Wizkids site.

Vehicles

A Vehicle is a HeroClix character marked with the <Steering Wheel> defense symbol. Vehicles can be played in one of two modes, Autopilot and Piloted (defined below),each with its own point value. As with figures with multiple starting lines and/or point values, you must choose which mode the vehicle will be played in when building your force.

A Vehicle can use the Carryability, but does not modify its speed value by -2 and can carry up to the maximum number of friendly characters indicated on the vehicle’s base next to the <Standing Man> symbol. When using the Carry ability, Vehicles ignore the combat symbols of friendly characters. (Pretty much any friendly character can ride in a Vehicle.)

Vehicles can use Improved Movement: Hindering Terrain and Characters (). (Easy enough, Vehicles run over terrain that would slow down a character, as well as characters. Vehiclescan make ranged combat attacks against opposing characters to whom it can draw a line of fire, even when it is adjacent to an opposing character. (Much like a colossal figure, Vehicles can shoot out of adjacency.) A Vehicle can’t be dealt damage through the Mastermindpower.

Now let’s have a look at the two ways to play a Vehicle: Autopiloted and Piloted.
